Create08 was unreal....

I have not got time now to add photos or to write much but I do want to say that Heidi was so inspiring and I am not just talking about scrapbooking, I am talking about life.....

I caught up with Leeanne and Ngaire and I meet Angela and Marelle.

Thanks Bri for being the taxi driver, I hope you got to bed early and had a good sleep.

I will be back soon with photos and more.

Well here we are 7th December...oh my where has the year gone!!!

There has been so much going on the last few weeks that I have no idea where to start so I will just add a few photos....

These 2 photos make me laugh..........

My Christmas photo shoot was a total disaster... no one wanted to smile or look at the same time and then we had tears....300 photo later and still not one Christmas theme photo was suitable for our Christmas card!!!! Oh well we tried a again a few hours later minus the hats, antlers etc and we did manage to get one 1/2 decent photo, but I wont show it on here just yet...

Here are a few silly ones...I think I really should of used these...

These next few are photos I took today

Jasper jumping into a puddle...

Velvet on the swing in the nude covered in mud...

And last week Velvet with piggy tails in her hair (there is about 5 hairs in each..LOL)

I received this lovely blog award from there by these two gorgeous girls

One little word ......lots of inspiration here!!!

Celine....funky, cool...just love her style

Silje...LOVE the tats and her style

Jennifer...very cute...

Create08 is only 11 sleeps away...OMG...I am getting excited

I have done a little bit of scrapping but as yet have not photographed it...I will try and get it done ASAP.... Like lots of you out there I am doing a December daily mini album... will try and upload some of my pages too

That's all I can think of at the moment, while I have been tying this I have boiled my hard boiled eggs (protein snack) dry...grrr

Hope you all have your Christmas shopping finished???? I have!!! woo hoo !!!

New puppy...girls night out and a little bit of scrapbooking...

Introducing Mack...

Mack is 6 weeks old today, he is a wolf hound / great dame cross..... tiny and cute now but when he gets older he wil be huge!!!

Another brother for Marge, Homer and Astro (our other dogs...)

Velvet is not real sure about Mack, I don't think she knows what he is... Our other dogs are all really big (wolf hounds and a whippet/grey hound x), I don't think she knows what a small dog looks like...

Craig and his new baby....LOL

Just to prove my hair is slightly better now than the perm....

This is me last night going out to our girls night out...

This was our entertainment for the night...

We had the pleasure of going to see "hot shots" last night....LOL

Myself, my 5 friends and about 12 other ladies were the only ones there, I felt so sorry for these poor guys...all the work they put into there show and they get less than 20 ladies turn up...

It did not make any difference to us as well all had a fantastic time, I can't remember when I have laughed so much.... as the number were so small and we were sitting in the front row lucky me (not) had to go up on stage twice....it was so funny....these guys were trying to be professional and we were all just pissing ourselves laughing..

My friend Kylie who is pregnant with her 6th baby and has never been to anything like this had to go up on stage for a contest...and she won a hot shots singlet...which she had to wear and got it signed by the guys afterwards...i wont say what she had to do to win it (she would die of embarrassment)

Thank god no one got any photos of me rubbing oil on one of the guys chests............ROTFLMAO

Kylie and Marlene on stage...

Thanks girls I had a fantastic night....I am still laughing about it..

Now on to something a bit more sedate...

Scrapbooking....

My pages from Kim Archers "do you remember" class

Chloe wants santa to bring her tickets to go to see Pink .....

if she is really good she may get to go... wink wink...

(they went on pre sale today and I would say they maybe already sold out..)

Craig and I are going to this ....Sydney Feb 2009....Craig is very excited...

Thats all I can think of at the moment...im feeling a bit tired, a few drinks of yellow and a late night then getting up at early to meet my trainer at 6am is hard work...may need a nana nap later on..

Love Cherie xx

Do You Remember - THE PERM!!!???

Kim Archer is running a competition on her blog at the moment about the 80's Perm....

Here is my embarrassing photo....OMG...its really bad

Me in year 9 at school....1986...what more can I say....

Talking of bad hair...her is another one.....

Perm gone...but this is just as bad... *platinum blonde* otherwise known as yellow!!! crimped with glitter spray...1989...going to a school social or blue light disco...

No more to add to this post...

If you have added a bad perm photo to your post let me know so I can check your photo out too..

Student of the Week....
Local Legend....

As I was away at the Forever Always retreat from Thursday to Sunday I missed out on going to end of term assembly but luckily Craig was there to see Chloe get 2 awards!! She got ""student of the week" at the P-4 assembly and then she also got "local legend" at the P-12 assembly. We are so proud of her as she has been having a few issues with a teacher but hopefully we have worked it all out and I think these awards shows how hard she has been trying to work things out .....well done Chloe xxxx

I had a fantastic time at the retreat....met lots of nice gals (don't want to name everyone in case I miss someone....) and even did a little bit of scrapping....LOL

I have not finished all my layouts but I will post them you will get the idea...

I also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Lou ..... I have been a fan of her work for a while, it is so unique and different. Lou is so lovely and so sweet. She scraped 2 layouts for me and I love how they have turned out....

Thanks Lou xoxoxox

Saturday night's dinner at the retreat we had dress-up in black and bling!!! We also had to decorate mask's to wear....

Here is Briony, Amie and myself...

It was nice to meet Amie as I had heard alot about her from Bri..

Hi Amie .....waving madly.......LOL

Not much else to report on at the moment....school holidays have started so hopefully we will have a quite two weeks, can't believe that it will be 4th term when they go back to school....OMG where has the year gone.

Must run

Take care and love to all
